Why each option
vSphere supports Network File System (NFS) as a file-level protocol for mounting remote shares and presenting them as datastores to ESXi hosts.
NFS is a widely adopted file system protocol that allows ESXi hosts to mount NFS volumes as datastores, enabling virtual machines to store their files and operating systems on shared network-attached storage.
iSCSI is a block-level storage protocol, not a file system protocol, used for connecting to storage area networks (SANs).
SAN (Storage Area Network) is a network architecture for block-level storage, not a file system protocol itself.
vSAN is a software-defined storage solution within vSphere that aggregates local storage, but it is not a file system protocol.
